You're not Nov 20, 2006

Hi Narasimhan,

But today I posted a topic about my difficulty in accessing proz page and I am informed that my post will be published after moderation. How come?

I had a look at the posting - not only does it contain numerous cross-references to a site which may be dubious (which, as far as I can see, triggered vetting for that single posting), but you also posted your personal access URL (including the password) for a support ticket you entered. Not a good idea, I think.

Given that your problem appeared to be related to your system and/or internet access, I had specifically suggested to post a support request, to avoid posting details which might be confidential in a public forum.

Presumably this post too will have the same treatment.

Wrong.


Best regards,
Ralf

Sorry Ralf and thanks Nov 20, 2006

I was not aware of the implicatons. Very thoughtful of Proz.com to vet the other post. On second thoughts, please hide it for ever. You are quite right in your observations, as usual.))

Again, thanks.

Regards,
N.Raghavan

The problem vanished on its own Nov 22, 2006

By the way, the problem that caused me to ask for support vanished, ever since I uninstalled the existing IE version and installed the new IE7 version.

My sincere thanks to Ralf and the site staff for the friendly replies.

Regards,
N.Raghavan
